In 1940, Max Ward joined the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and
learned to fly, earning his wings on 2 November 1941 in the
British Commonwealth Air Training Plan.

He was a good student, and his high marks earned him
instructor duties in the Air Training Plan. As a commissioned
flight instructor, Ward taught at various Canadian bases during
the Second World War.

In 1945, Ward left the RCAF and found a position as a pilot
with Northern Flights limited, but soon decided that he wanted
his own company.
